It's a shame people have to explain to you that proper channels exist to deal with other countries in such a way to avoid things like this. Had the state department had the final say as it should Trump would not be in trouble. Blame him for trying to be the entire executive branch and ignoring his advisors.it's what happens in every administration since federal aid has been given to a foreign country. You know this right? We the US will give them money for some favor. for fking ever. Or, are you saying that the dems only give them money for no reason? here's 1.5 billion enjoy!!! is that what you're insinuating?For the majority of republicans the term "quid pro quo" is just some kind of incomprehensible lawyer talk commies made up to make them feel stupid.
Every dollar given to a foreign government was a quid pro quo. every single dollar.
it's still a quid pro quo. just say it. Your tongue won't fall out of your mouth to admit that's what it is and always has been. And again, until you have a document that money was held for anything, you got fking nothing. two faced fk! sleepy joe got his son 80K a month on a quid pro quo and your sorry ass doesn't give a rats ass. did hunter give you some of it? not sure why that doesn't bother you. but, again, your second face is in the way.so we hand out money for nothing? is that what you're going with? money for a service is a quid pro quo. unless of course you're a fked in the head demofk who doesn't understand anything.no more foreign aid and call it a day. For any foreign aid, there is a quid pro quo necessary. there is no other means for giving them money. I'm all ears for how it can be handled differently. Hey mr. PM, whoever the fk you are, you want a billion dollars, we need this in return. every mthr fking dollar spent was done in that manner. so, unless you got something else, stop the funding.
When you were young, your mom must have thrown you out with the bath water.
Jesus you guys are too easy.
Because you can't use Foreign aid as leverage to aid you with political rivals, doesn't mean we have to do away with using foreign aid as leverage for things that are good for America and American business interests.
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Aww, Augustine thinks it's funny but is unable to come up with a rebuttal. Poor baby.
Shakedown? LOL my goodness. Did Ukraine oblige with his request? Booboobear.it's still a quid pro quo. just say it.

It was an illegal shakedown. Trumpybear will be impeached over it most likely.
Yes I know, and that stops. That was because of the way the cabal ran the world. You’re just going to have to be patient. It’s almost over.No. It doesn’t. Every country can finance their own needs, and if they can’t and we want to voluntarily step in and help them PRIVATELY then that’s fine. But our tax dollars should never have been used as a geopolitical weapon.It doesn't have to be. Depends on the circumstances don't you think?
But in the real world we have use that tactic and many times. We give you aid and you have pro American business policies
If Quid Pro Quo was a crime, every married person would be a criminal.
Every fucking transaction in history has been quid-pro-quo whether implicit or explicit.Is Quid Pro Quo a crime? If so, then virtually all Executive decisions and Legislation passed by Congress is also a crime, because they demand some sort of performance in exchange for a benefit (usually money).
However, demanding a personal (or family) benefit in exchange for performing a public duty is a crime.
Can you tell the difference?

Surprised that 50 percent of Congress are not millionaires

It's funny how the Trump supporters brag about Trump being rich, but then imply there is something wrong with other politicians being rich.Surprised that 50 percent of Congress are not millionaires
Not that big a deal these days

Even if you think that Trump did no crime with quid pro quo, it sets a VERY dangerous precedent. Why? Because asking a foreign government for dirt on your political rival is wrong because it gives that foreign country leverage over the US.
For instance, say that Xi wants to get Trump to lift the sanctions, so, he sets loose a team of investigators to see if Biden or his son did anything wrong there. If he was to find something, he could call up Trump and tell him that he's got some really good dirt on Biden, but in order for Xi to give it to Trump, Trump would have to lift the sanctions.
THAT is why it is being looked into as something illegal. It could feasibly give another country leverage over ours. That is also why the Founding Fathers said that allowing other countries to mess in our elections is unconstitutional.
